CB1100 Monthly Photo Challenge

[Gone in 60]

Figured I’d submit one more for the month. Don’t know what kind of tree this is, but the trunk is dark orange and gnarled. No leaves yet, just intense red blooms all over it.

It’s on one of my afternoon walking routes that I hadn’t taken for a while until today, when I saw the red flowers all over it.

I dig it because one part of the trunk leans over the sidewalk and just grazes my hat as I walk under it. Sort of like a feeler gauge. I can turn around and look at it and think “Huh, that’s how tall I am.”
